Local Casino Review
Las Vegas is an intrigueing place filled with high levels of superficiality and a rampant disregard for what many consider a quiet night at home. This is the major leagues of fun and distraction. That’s what i kept telling myself as i drove myself and all my belongings across the harsh Southern California desert to make this one of my weirdest and confusing adventures. Green Valley is a nice residential area in Henderson, NV a somewhat quiet community that no doubt hides its share of fiends and loose women. This would be my base of operations. I arrived far too late to get the keys to my new apartment so it looked like a comfortable night in my over packed SUV. It was only 8:00 pm.
I decided to check out the Green Valley Ranch casino that i had passed twice trying to find my new Apartment complex. This would be the first casino i would review. The Green Valley Ranch Casino is the working man’s casino. Parking was easy and I strolled right in comfortable that no one in this whole place knew me. I do have an ex-girlfriend who lives out here. Remembering that i kept looking over my shoulder. That’s what 5hrs in a cramped SUV does to you. It makes you paranoid. Locals everywhere. I presumed they were locals because i hadn’t seen anything that i would consider a Vegas crowd. Then again im new here in Sin City. These people did not look like sinners, more like normal people. That’s good I wasn’t in the mood to party. The crowd was mellow i naturally approached the bar located in the center of the casino which seems to be the norm. Let the bar naturally grip you, and slowly you will eventually gravitate towards it! Now the Green Valley Ranch Casino is quite extravagent the decorations remind you of a hunting cabin that the Romanov’s might have used when Russia was ok. The bar i headed to was called “The Drop Bar” immediately I was turned off. The decor is an off white reminder to Vegas’ glory days of lounge’s and wierd 60’s space themes. The waitresses sport white skimpy outfits and serve 5.00 dollar rum and cokes.I had to have a few drinks the only thing waiting for me was my spacious car. I would recommend the bar as a good starting point especially if you live close by. So after a few drinks I headed out. The buffet which if my memory serves is one of the top notch i’ve had thus far. I visited this place before a few months ago but didnt remeber till I saw the buffet.The options and types of food seem endless.The deserts are french inspired and equally delicious. One bit of advice: dont start with carbo’s you’ll only be wasting your time. Hit the high protein stuff first, the pricing is reasonable so you can come back and finish what you started. The overall atmosphere is approaching high end with a local modesty. Clearly this place is high society, not to be mistaken with an elitist quality. I would recommend Green Valley Ranch as a good starting point and a great palce for a buffet lunch or dinner if you have it that way.
